    Surfwise.

    Its a doumentary about the Paskowitz family. Basically a guy and his wife decide to live their whole life out of a camper van and just surf, they have 9 kids who are all raised in this fashion, it's not a surf movie more a documentary about a family. The first part is steeped in the idealism of their lifestyle but as it goes on and the more they talk to the now adult kids the more the cracks show in what was actually a pretty messed up family. It was very well made and kept me interested for the whole run time, the only thing was I felt it didn't go hard enough on the father, it didn't delve into the darker aspects as much as it should have but was still a good documentary.

    here's the trailer:

    Don't know if anyone else here has a Netflix account but this film got added to the catalogue today. Well worth a watch.

    Saw it before, I thought it was pretty good. It was interesting to see how young surfers were thrown on the scrapheap by the big sponsors without any support. Andy Irons was another example of this where his drink and drug problems were swept under the carpet by billabong while he was still making $$$ for them.

    Jack McCoy's deeper shade of blue is up on US netflix. Not a lot of original material but it's worth a look.

    'Castles in the sky' is one of the best surf movies out there. Can't stop watching it. Great surfing, music and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out. Can watch it on surfmovies .org (like many others).

    A series of beautifully shot chilled out surf related films by cinematographer Stefan Jose shot for Mctavish surfboards, take a pause from your day to relax and enjoy.
    It'll definitely make you feel better...guaranteed! :)

    Watched Peninsula Mitre the weekend. It was interesting enough. Not much surfing, but I liked it.

    Started to watch Bella Vita, about an American surfer, Chris Del Moro, going back to discover his roots in Italy.

    I turned it off after a half an hour or so, when more well heeled beautiful people turned up from So Cal to arse around Italy.

    It was a little "look at us", but I'm a negative fecker.

    Both on Netflix.

    Surprised to see no mention of Waveriders

    https://youtu.be/mSzktIpL4uM

    The guy who runs my local surf school and actually took me out on my first lesson features heavily on this. I had no idea he was such a well known surfer until one of his staff suggested watching the film.

    Definitely recommended, I really enjoyed it.
